Note:
Many of you have wondered about the Toronto Notes logo, which is based on the rod of Asclepius, the Greek god of
medicine. The rod of Asclepius consists of a single serpent entwined around a staff. This icon symbolizes both rebirth,
by way of a snake shedding its skin, and also authority, by way of the staff.
In ancient Greek mythology, Asclepius was the son of Apollo and a skilled practitioner of medicine who learned
the medical arts from the centaur Chiron. Asclepius’ healing abilities were so great that he was said to be able to bring
back people from the dead. These powers displeased the gods, who punished Asclepius by placing him in the sky as
the constellation Orphiuchus.
The rod of Asclepius is at times confused with the caduceus, or wand, of Hermes, a staff entwined with two serpents
and often depicted with wings. The caduceus is often used as a symbol of medicine or medical professionals, but there
is little historical basis for this symbolism.
As you may have guessed, our logo uses the rod of Asclepius that is modified to also resemble the CN Tower – our
way of recognizing the university and community in which we have been privileged to learn the art and science of
medicine.
